Xbox One Supports Eight Simultaneous Controllers

The official Xbox One controller product page is now live, and contains an interesting tidbit. Apparently up to eight controllers can be simultaneously synced with the entertainment system, which could potentially make for some utterly insane local multiplayer opportunities once [email protected] starts running at full speed. Kinect's facial recognition will ensure that each controller is properly assigned to a player's profile without faffing about with menus, at least, in theory.
